Burchett's Green Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Burchett's Green? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Burchett's Green and across Windsor and Maidenhead.
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Choked outlets and gutters
What we’re asked to look at in Burchett's Green
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaks into upper flats
If you look after a building such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
Landlord roof survey in Burchett's Green
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and choked outlets and gutters, across converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Burchett's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Burchett's Green questions
Is Burchett's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Burchett's Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Burchett's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Burchett's Green homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Harleyford Manor about 2.1 miles north, Burchett's Green sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Saint John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Furze Platt station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
